A Fowl KILLING.

One night this week a bloodthirsty
wildcat, or some equally bloodthirsty ami.
NAL. entered the hen house of Supervisor
J. ii. Johnson, and in the space Of four or
five hours cut the throat and sucked the
blood from one hundred and fourteen of
his fine full-grown hens. The animal was
discovered at daylight and the place
where it went in nailed up, and the man
in charge Of the ranch started to get a
gun, but before his return the "varmint"
had escaped. The next night it returned
and succeeded in killing two more fowls
before it was discovered and killed. Jack
says the bloodthirsty animal is as large
as his dog, and he thinks the "varmint"
must be cross between a wildcat, lynx
and son-of-a-gun. Mr.. johnson has
four hens left, and is not discouraged by
his misfortune, but was in town Thursday
tying.to buy another lot of fowls.

Water at Ninety Feet.

Mr.. J. II. Cofer several weeks ago com
rnenced digging we'll on his place
adjoining the Kingman townsite on the
east. Very few thought that he would
ever strike water and considered it labor
and money thrown away. The work Of
sinking was continued until at the depth
Of ninety feet water was struck, when a
two-inch hole was drilled eight feet deeper.
At the present writing the water is about
ten feet deep and is constantly on the in
crease, and has every indication of being
permanent. No trial has been given az
TO how long it will take to diminish the
flow Of water, as no means are at hand,
but an ordinary bucket and windlass does
not lower the water perceptibly.
Now that water has been found at a
depth OF less than one hundred ieet, and
where it was not expected, this fact may
induce others Of our citizeus to dig foI
water and may lead TO the driving OF an
artesian we'll, which, added to the supply
Of water furnished by the Kingman Water
Works, would give this place an unlimited
supply Of water.
1t is believed by many that water can
be found under any part of the town
within reasonable depth. and it is hoped
that some measure may be taken to prove
whether this Is the case or not.

A New Freight Depot.

On Tuesday OF this week Mr. J. IL.
Scott, Superintendent OF the Atlantic &
Pacific Railway, arrived at this place on
tour OF inspection. He noticed the large
amount Of freight piled on the depot plat
form, and ASKED why it was not in the
depot freight room. He was told that the
room was full Of freight and that the
present room would not hold but small
portion Of the freight received here.
After satisfying himself that more ad-
equate facilities were needed for the
storing OF freight at this station, he tele-
graphed to headquarters to have fifty feet
added to the east end OF the station house
and to have the work commenced at once
For year past it has been almost i'm

Death or George III. Dana.

Geo. II. Dana died in San Francisco On
last Saturday morning. Mr.. Dana was
interested in the c. o. d. mine on Stock

county. Below we copy from the Daily
Alta notice Of his death:
"The unexpected decease Of Geo. II.
Dana at O'Clock yesterday morning was
a matter Of sincere regret to wide circle
OF friends. He had been ailing for some
weeks, but no serious sapprehensions were
felt for his safety until about forty-eight
hours preceding his death, which was
caused by dropsy of the lungs.
"Mr. Dana had for many years been
engaged in business with his brother-in.

an old pioneer, having come to California
in 1853, settling in Sierra county. From

EDITOR MINER:
Superintendent Barry, OF the Arizona
Northern Mining Co., has leased TO Geo.
Mendes, W. ii. Kelly and Dan McKinnon
that portion OF the Connor mine lying
between the main shaft and the Mime
sofa (about $50 feet) together with 25 feet
of the latter mine. The lease runs Is
calendar months. They have commenced
sinking on the dividing line and are al.
ready down forty feet. They expect to
strike the ore shoot at about sixty feet.
They intend to sink 100 feet before drift
ing and are putting up whim which will
be in working order in few days.
Jno. Barry, owner OF the Minnesota, is
erecting a Common Sense" whim on
that property and retimbering and raising
the mouth OF the shaft. These whims are
q late invention and seem to be in every
particular a common sense machine. A
new steel cable 320 feet long has been put
on 1t, and John says the shaft shall go
deep enough to take it all. There is good
ore in the bottom Of the shaft, which is
l40 feet deep, and the intention Is TO sink
and open up a good block Of ground TO
stope out. 1t will be remembered that
this is the mine that Messrs. Campbell,
Madden and Hussey took so much good
ore from, but their lease was so near out
they could not open any more ground.
The dry concentrator at the Sunlight
mine would be running to-day but for the
recent storm, which literally soaked the
screenings and dumps upon which it was
intended to work. The last installment
OF machinery had been put in place and
the concentrator started and working
nicely when the rain put a quietus on
operations for a few days, or until the
ores dry sufficiently TO admit Of them be-
ing worked by the Cry process.
At the Attata John J. Goshorn is as
sorting his dumps and will soon have
another car load Of ore ready for the Argc
smelter.

grade gold ore from his claim near the
Sunlight, and to-day made his first ship

as free gold can be seen OH almost ever,

high.
Eugene Rogers is driving tunnel OF

very high grade ore, but the ledge II

remains about so feet of tunnel to bt
run before he expects any very goot
results.
w. D. Grant is picking away and viii
soon have a shipment, probably by the
time the team gets around again.
Henry Ewing is still teaching, but the
cold weather Is damper, and the chances
are that he will have to shut down If the
weather does not moderate.
| Coon and Delhanty have load OF seven
tons at the Juno, which they are waiting
for the team to take to Kingman.
The employees Of the Sunlight had
genuine feast Thanksgiving. Mrs. John
Barry braved the storm and drove from
Cerbat to enjoy Thanksgiving with he'
husband. The buggy was we'll loaded
with turkeys, pies, cakes, fresh milk, etc.

The 81. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN Of last
week says: Railroad Commissioner T. G..
Fletcher met with the Massachusetts, com
mittee ON railroads at Springfield Saturday
when the committee aud guests were given
a ride on a special train ON the Connecticut
river railroad to Hulyoke and return, to
test the Emerson steam heating system.
COL Fletcher says the test was II success.
4 cold car was heated 10y steam from the
locomotive boiler in surprisingly short
time The breaking of a pipe in the car
when the steam was on did no damage,
merely subiecting the visitors to II vapor
bath.
1t is evident that all the leading railroad
companies Of the country are actually en-
gagged with experiments To discover the best
substitute for the present means of heating
and lighting cars compelled thereto both
bv their own choice and by the public
opinion which has been aroused by the ter
rible disasters of the winter. The New
York papers print reports of experiments
which are being made by the New York
Central road and which promise to come to
successful issue. Master car builders
and companies of car builders are also at
work upon the problem and trains with
new heating and lighting devices are being
fitted by them to run experimentally on
several roads. At meeting of the Massa-
chusetts car builders club held last week
its president called attention to the fact
that while everybody is looking out fol
safe heaters for coaches, baggage cars
which are i'll the most exposed parts Of
trains, are allowed to carry fragile iror
stoves. The great difficulty in the way o.
introducing continuous system of heat
ing, he said, lies in the fact that all thu
roads cannot settle upon a common system
which would make the interchange of car
